No More Clouds in My Coffee

Last week, my coffee maker produced some bitterly awful coffee. At first I thought that it was due to my having changed my Brita filter, because when I tasted the newly filtered water, it didn't taste right. So after running a fair bit of water through the new filter, that went away, but my coffee didn't improve too much. It had been wisely suggested to me that I clean my coffee maker, so I bought some vinegar and was about to pour it in, when I realized that there might be an actual procedure. Here it is:

I'm glad I looked! So I diluted 1 part vinegar with 2 parts water and ran it through, then ran just water through a few times. Lo and behold, my coffee tastes much richer and fuller this morning, without the bitterness.

Hmmm, I don't know Pace One. What town is it in?

I actually order my coffee beans from Green Mountain Roasters in VT and grind them myself. They are quite good and have a wide selection. However, I must confess that I love the flavored beans, but it is good to know that there are limits on their quality.

It's out in Thornton, a ways off the major highway. I think I first went there with Andy Podolsky, although I'm not entirely sure. Anyway, dim lighting, but great atmosphere. Great hot cider (especially in the fall) with a cinnamon stick. Great seafood and deserts. Just terrible coffee.
